outcomes described by Li with similar and contrasting cases elsewhere would help reveal to what extent the fate of the Lauje represents a universal story, and to what extent it reflects locally specific factors, such as the markedly individualistic tendencies which Li describes as characteristic of Lauje economic behaviour even before the cacao era

Nature in the Global South
It is late morning a century in the future.You are between flights and striding toward a grandly built edifice, the Museum of Human Welfare.The renowned museum, its wings forming a huge compass rose, sits on the site of a former prison in Port Blair, green capital of the Andaman Islands, a favorite stopover on the Kamchatka to Capetown shuttle.Unlike other museums, the Museum of Human Welfare displays no objects; instead, its halls are filled wit…
Culture and the Question of Rights
Woodpecker's tap-tapOn the honey tree.I'm drunk with singing, But I shan't let go. Lower down the python's tailLet it to the ground Come down laughing ladiesAs we shower you with gold.-Meratus Dayak honey hunter's songIn the dark of night, in the forested Meratus Mountains of southeast Kalimantan, a young man crawls out along the branch of a tree known as ''Where He Fell'' to reach a honeycomb.Suspended high above the forest while excited men, wo…
People, Plants, and Justice
In an era of market triumphalism, this book probes the social and environmental consequences of market-linked nature conservation schemes. Rather than supporting a new anti-market orthodoxy, Charles Zerner and colleagues assert that there is no universal entity, "the market."

One of the most significant developments has bee…
Through a Green Lens
In the Maluku Islands of Eastern Indonesia, a center of global diversity in coral reef systems and the historic center of trade in cloves and other spices, tenure practices known as sasi have flourished for at least a century. This article analyzes changes in the ways Dutch colonial officials, Indonesian government officials, and environmental NGOs have interpreted Moluccan customary law and local institutions. Dutch colonial accounts of sasi, a …
Signs of the Spirits, Signature of the Smith
Approximately two hundred and fifty smiths work within the regency of Tana Toraja in two centers of forging: 2 a village called La'bo (the word in Toraja means sword), and clusters of villages on the slopes of Mount Sesean, the highest peak in Toraja. From these centers the smiths supply tools not only to the areas within walking distance of their forges, but also to the wider region. At the Rantepao market, the hub of a six-day cycle of rotating…
